I mention this in passing twice   I'll hold my tongue as long as nothing understood is nice   It's just my way to criticize   I understand a little less than maybe's wise      It really takes me down (I always like to begin with)   It really takes me down (Everything's mind all along)   I promise not a sound (Say something that I'll remember)   'Cause it really takes me down (Something is turning out wrong)      I need convincing long before   I'll disregard a few things   I'll allow a few things more   It's all the time I can afford   Not to expect much in the way of our reward
